Cochrane is an international health organization in which volunteers from many countries collaborate to publish systematic reviews of medical research on health care and to share the information broadly. Cochrane volunteers and the organization itself have partnered with Wikipedia since 2013 to improve the quality of Wikipedia's health information.
This is a Wikipedia community documentation page describing projects involving Cochrane and Wikipedia. Anyone can edit this page and it is maintained by volunteers.
